Got your materials? Great! Let’s Make Some Accordion Flowers!

Step 1: Grab 2 sheets of same-colored origami paper.

Step 2: Fold each paper in half once. Then in half again. And then in half again. You will be folding in a half a total of three times. Do the same with the other sheet. (Note: You can always fold it in half again. You’ll just get thinner pleats. Just make sure you do the same number of folds for each sheet. )

Step 3: Unfold your sheets of paper.

Step 4: Now accordion fold each origami sheet. Use your creases as guidelines.

Step 5: Fold both folded origami sheets in half. Then, staple them together in the middle.

Step 6: Fold your accordion folded origami in half and trim the ends. (You can cut slants or curves – each will result in different looking petals.)
